Caitlyn Jenner believes Republican lawmakers need to be better “educated” on transgender issues, specifically regarding the right to use the bathroom that corresponds to a person’s gender identity.

“As far as the GOP and the Republican side of it, they certainly need more education [on trans issues],” Jenner said Tuesday in a Facebook Live interview with Nicholas Kristof. “The Democrats are certainly better on these issues, but I’m not a one-issue voter.”

In a television interview last week, Trump criticized North Carolina for passing a recent anti-LGBT law that bans transgender individuals from using certain restrooms. The GOP front-runner also went on to say that he would be “fine” with Jenner using the bathroom of her choice if she were to ever visit Trump Towers in New York City.

During Sunday’s season finale of her reality show I Am Cait, Jenner and some of her transgender friends traveled to Houston, where Texas voters recently repealed a city law protecting the LGBT community from discrimination. Voters suggested that law would allow men to enter women’s restrooms to commit acts of sexual abuse.

“As far as politicians saying, ‘It’s not safe to let the guy into the restroom,’ there are no cases of trans people in restrooms ever being arrested, ever having any problem. They just want to take a pee and get out of there,” Jenner told Kristof.

Jenner points to laws such as this one that contribute to high rates of suicide and bullying among young transgender individuals.

“They think they’re saving people, but to be honest with you, there’s already laws on the books for guys going in the restroom [to molest someone] whether they’re in a Laker uniform or wearing a dress. It’s against the law,” Jenner said.

The California primary, which is what Jenner will likely vote in, is scheduled for June 7.
